I'm just waiting for them to start expecting you to do some missions for free like in single player.

Nope. They charge you to take part in competitive matches instead.
After an hour of playing random missions/races, I was driving back to my cheap $80,000 apartment to finish up my session. When I arrived, I saw a guy creeping around outside the garage. I revved my engine behind him, SMG at the ready in case he tried any funny business. As soon as he saw me, he started to run like hell away. I chuckled to myself and let him go - I'm no griefer. The game changed when I checked his tag and realized his clan was IGN. I promptly ran him down before he had even turned the corner. No remorse. No regrets.

it's funny really, the whole dissapearing character problem had to be at least a day two problem and yet R* first priority(after stabalizing the online a bit) was to nerf a few mission payouts and not solve this pretty major bug. Also, with microtransactions being available from the start, and with the occasional money dissappearing with the character, it just looks damn shady on R* end. I'm not saying they intenally made the glitch but this is some shady shit on their end.

Have I mentioned how annoyed I am about getting the uncovered version of the Voltic? It'd be one thing if there was an option and I missed it on the site but there isn't and for whatever reason Rockstar didn't include a roof option at LS Customs so I'm stuck with one of my favorite cars having no roof being a big ass sign above my character's head while in it saying "please snipe me". Ugh.
I also was respawned inside the prison for that damn mission. I retried it after that happened but I'm never doing it again.
This pleases me. Death to IGN!
In GTA Online that is...

Passive mode is great if you need a pee/phone/interruption break and haven't bought an apartment/garage yet.

hehe, that's funny, I saw someone with an ign tag last night. kicked his/her butt in racing and parachuting. good game to whoever that was.
I've encountered loads with the ign tag for some reason.
Are you playing on some magic platform that no else has access to?
Sure they are in the store but they have been down for maintenance since the start on both PS3 and 360.
Last time I checked they are still down and they will only enable them once they have fixed the issue with money disappearing because they and both Sony/Microsoft will get a lot of shit if GTA$ disappear.

THat IGN tag means little to nothing. THere are a whole bunch of crews that have over 20,000+ members that anyone can join
So it may not even be someone from IGN

Nope, the cash cards have been available at the start of GTAO. I know because I purchased 200.000 GTA$.

There's a lot of supposed information (taken from the disc) regarding that. On the discs are the gametypes 'Missions', 'Deathmatches', 'Races' and 'CnC'.
CnC has a lot of entries about Cop players, arrests, arresting NPCs. It appears to be a seperate free mode lobby type. Police level up and get more outfits, players do what they do. Apparently.
There's a lot more I can't be arsed to type on a phone.

The player count probably relates to a PC version of GTA Online.
Its such a dumb system to tie Mods to winning absurd amounts of races. "Hey are you great at races? Here's something else to make you even better! " the hell man.

Any way to grab a buddy and find the shortest race and just take turns winning?
Most of my buddies are silver members or still playing single player sadly. I think boosting is my only option.

Can't go wrong with a bit of boosting.
Need to find some dude to help. Anyone here on 360 up for taking turns?
Yeah sorry I meant to write day one. They took them down rather quickly after the launch disaster.

I'd be up for it but can't right now.
You're not supposed to die. Or kill people. Or blow up other people's cars.
You're just supposed to grind

Wait, the new patch removed the ability to replay story missions by spamming R2? Wow, R* really is pushing hard for people to start buying their shitty microtransaction bullshit once they finally re-enable it.
With the new patch, you can't even do that.
You're supposed to spend real $ to get GTA$.

They did indeed. I wonder how Rockstar's gonna deal with this. Their payment department must have a fun time right now. Worst case scenario (for me): They restore my first character with the purchased money (if it's in the database yet) and overwrite my current char. Best case: I get the money on my active character. I'm indifferent towards a real money refund, since I'm gonna spend it on cash cards asap.
Cool, What's your gamertag dude? Mine is Ant_26587 if you wanna boost later.
I know that mission is a pain in the ass, i called merryweather or whatever for a helicopter pick up 1k and kill the pilot, there is your helo.

You should inform everyone else I come across about that, then. Because no room ever fills up and when there's 14 seconds left before a match starts, people leave.

Yeah, finally got that Land Shark mod for my car. 
Just a clipping bug of course.
Yup, each class has its own counter. It's insanity, add me when you come on dude. (Ant_26587)
I am almost done with SP so yesterday i tried Online. Aaaand i dont get it
16 people going around the map and not interacting at all. I went to an event spot, invitwd everyone from the session and noone joined. And it is like that every time. I joined some evens via quick jobs but then i went to completely different server. It' like standard MP lobby system. Whats the point of freeroam then? Robbing gas stations gets boring quickly. What else can i do to earn money in free roam?
For now i only figured out how to lose money when i die doing stupid experiments. I can do that for free in SP
Btw i have voice settings on everyone and i am not in a party , but still i havent heard anyone speaking. That and much less traffic than in SP makes freeroam feel like ghost town

So... 4 days later my emblem finally showed up... and I forgot to make the background transparent!
facepalm
I don't know if it's possible to make the background transparent. The default background is white for some reason.
Edit: ahh, nevermind. I see you figured out that there is a trasnparent "color" I guess?
So your money that you bought disappeared?
Out of interest, how much were the various cash cards when they were available?
ShiroAmakusa
Member
It did, together with the character the money was purchased on.
I paid like 5 for 200k, If I recall correctly.
Since VD doesnt work, want to do the race yesterday and some missions later? Fast cash and RP.
When did you last play with the character?
like 30 min ago.
Looked at some of my friends/gaf profiles and they are showing level 0 too. hope it's a social club bug.
edit: nvm, showing again.
Did you call Sony or Microsoft to refund the purchase?
I mean I will buy the 1,25 million card once it is back up since I have no problem with it but even though I have the disposable income I would be mad if my virtual money disappeared.
